Right metrics, right stage

What you should track changes as you grow. Basedash adapts to your stage.

Pre-seed to seed

Find product-market fit signals

Key metrics: Activation rate, retention cohorts, NPS, qualitative feedback loops

Series A

Prove repeatable growth

Investors want to see repeatable, scalable growth. Basedash connects your product, sales, and marketing data so you can show the full growth engine, not just top-line revenue.

Key metrics: MRR growth, CAC, LTV:CAC, sales pipeline, channel efficiency

Series B and beyond

Optimize unit economics at scale

As your team grows, so does data fragmentation. Basedash gives every team self-serve access to the metrics that matter while keeping definitions governed and consistent.

Key metrics: Net revenue retention, gross margin, burn multiple, department-level ROI
